Anchor references are actually not a part of the URL. By which I
mean, they are for use only by the browser. When you click on a URL
in the browser, the browser takes note of the anchor reference, but
the browser does NOT send the anchor reference to the server. It
only takes note of it, so it can jump to that anchor in the returned
page. The theory is that the server doesn't need to know the anchor
reference, it's got nothing to do with what content is returned from
the request, it's only got to do with what the browser does with that
content (jumps to a certain point on the page).
So, if all that makes sense... there's no way to get this
information, and it's not a WO issue, the same would be true of any
server application at all. The anchor information is not sent to the
server.

Even though the docs for WORequest state that everything aflter the
questionmark in a URL can be obtained by calling WORequest's
queryString() I am not getting back anchor references.
For an URL like this:
http://somedomain/scripts/WebObjects.dll/MyApplication?this=that&some=wh
at#PageAnchor1
queryString() is only returning the this=that&some=what portion and
leaving off the #PageAnchor1 portion.
Any ideas on how to get the anchor reference?
